June H2H Guest Designer: Warm vs. Cold

Hello there, Artsy Friends! I am truly honored to be Heart 2 Heart Challenges Guest Designer for the month of June 2015! Heart 2 Heart is a challenge blog for projects that feature Close to My Heart products. A new project is posted every Monday, and you have the rest of the month to complete the projects.

The first June Challenge is a Warm vs. Cool color challenge. I love mixing rich red colors with cooler blues and grays. This pairs perfectly with the Snowhaven paper pack.

For this spread, I tried a different technique by embossing a stenciled pattern on vellum and the paper to mimic snowfall. I used a Heidi Swapp stencil called "Confetti" and white embossing pattern to create the look. Then I layered a cluster on top of the pattern.

To embellish the page, I used the coordinating chipboard, which really added some fun dimensions to the page.
